Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a soft packet of cigarettes provided with a closing stamp.
  • a soft packet of cigarettes currently on the market (for example of the type described in the patent application EP1813552A1 ) comprises an inner package of metal foil entirely wrapping a group of cigarettes, and a cup-shaped outer package that is formed by soft packing material, and encloses the inner package on five sides leaving the top wall (or head) of the inner package exposed.
  • the soft packet of cigarettes comprises a sealing stamp (also typically having tax purposes, i.e. payment proof of a government tax), which is glued to the outer package, U-folded and arranged astride the top wall (or head) of the inner package in order to rest its own central portion onto the top wall (or head) of the inner package.
  • the inner package is normally entirely devoid of glue, and therefore is kept closed and inside the outer package by the closing stamp which also has the function of stabilizing and retaining the inner package.
  • the smoker For withdrawing the cigarettes, the smoker, at the opening of the packet of cigarettes for the first time, must tear off a portion of the top wall of the inner package left uncovered by the closing stamp (i.e. the smoker tears off the top wall of the inner package next to the closing stamp).
  • the closing stamp In a soft packet of cigarettes currently on the market of the type described above, the closing stamp has relatively relevant sizes, and therefore for the production thereof it is necessary to use a quantity of packing material relatively high with a consequent non-negligible impact both on production costs of the new packet of cigarettes and on disposal costs of the used packet of cigarettes.
  • the patent US3809227 describes a group of five packets 10 of cigarettes, each of which comprises a group 64 of cigarettes wrapped inside two sheets 60 and 62 of packing material and further surrounded by an overwrapping 66 of transparent plastic material (cellophane). Over the top wall 66 of the overwrappings 66 of transparent plastic material a strip 12 is fixed (by heat sealing or by gluing), which has the function to provide both a mechanical connection between the five packets 10 of cigarettes, and a tax function (i.e. constituting proof of a fee payment).
  • the patent application EP1813552A1 discloses a soft package of filter cigarettes comprises an inner pack 10 containing a cigarette bundle CB, and an envelope 12 covering the inner pack 10 except for a top face 28 of the inner pack 10; the soft package further comprises a seal 14 stuck to the envelope 12 and the inner pack 10 to extend from the front face of the envelope 12 to the back face of the envelope 12, passing across the top face 28 of the inner pack 10, in the center.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a soft packet of cigarettes provided with a closing stamp, wherein said packet of cigarettes is free from the drawbacks described above and, at the same time, easy and inexpensive to produce.
  • a soft packet of cigarettes provided with a sealing stamp as claimed in the attached claims is provided.
  • number 1 indicates as a whole a soft packet of cigarettes.
  • the packet 1 of cigarettes comprises a cup-shaped outer package 2 (shown alone in Figure 4 ) made of a soft packing material and an inner package 3 (illustrated as a whole in Figure 3 ) which is housed inside the outer package 2 and surrounds a parallelepiped-shaped group 4 of cigarettes (shown in Figure 2 ).
  • the inner package 3 is parallelepiped-shaped and has an top wall 5 and a bottom wall 6 opposite and parallel to each other, a front wall 7 and a rear wall 8 opposite and parallel to each other, and two lateral walls 9 opposite and parallel to each other.
  • the inner package 3 is made by folding a sheet of packing material 10 (illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 in two different embodiments alternative to each other) of metal foil about a group 4 of cigarettes.
  • a longitudinal overlapping between two opposite flaps of the sheet 10 of packing material is obtained at a lateral wall 9 of the inner package 3 and two folds at the top (i.e. folds that close the open ends of a tubular package) are obtained at the top wall 5 and bottom wall 6.
  • a longitudinal overlapping between two opposite flaps of the sheet 10 of packing material is provided at each lateral wall 9 of the inner package 3 and a fold at the top (i.e.
  • the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 comprises a rear fold flap 12 which is folded partially about the group 4 of cigarettes and a front fold flap 11 which is folded partially over the rear fold flap 12; the front fold flap 11 is trapezoidal-shaped with its long sides coincident with a top edge of the front wall 7, while the rear fold flap 12 is trapezoidal-shaped with its long sides coincident with a top edge of the rear wall 8.
  • the outer package 2 is parallelepiped-shaped and has an open top end 13 and a bottom wall 14 opposite and parallel to each other, a front wall 15 and a rear wall 16 opposite and parallel to each other, and two lateral walls 17 opposite and parallel to each other.
  • the outer package 2 surrounds on five sides, the inner package 3 leaving the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 exposed.
  • the outer package 2 is formed by folding a sheet of packing material 18 (shown in Figure 8 ) about the inner package 3; during the folding of the sheet of packing material 18 a longitudinal overlapping between the two opposite ends of the sheet 18 of packing material at a lateral wall 17 of the outer package 2 is obtained and a folding at the top (i.e. a fold which closes an open end of a tubular package) is obtained at the bottom wall 14 of the outer package 2.
  • the packet 1 of cigarettes comprises a sealing stamp 19, which also can have (but may also be without) a tax function, i.e. payment proof of a government tax.
  • the sealing stamp 19 is only and entirely superimposed on the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 and touches no part of the outer package 2.
  • the sealing stamp 19 is flat and rectangular (i.e., the sealing stamp 19 is entirely flat and is devoid of any type of fold) and is superimposed only on the top wall 5 of the inner package 3, touching no other part of the inner package 3, and touching no part whatsoever of the outer package 2.
  • the sealing stamp 19 is located symmetrically in the center of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 and is superimposed on both the front fold flap 11, and the back fold flap 12 of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 (as best illustrated in Figure 5 ).
  • the sealing stamp 19 is rectangular with its long sides parallel to the top edge of the front wall 7 of the inner package 3 (and therefore also parallel to the top edge of the rear wall 8 of the inner package 3) and its short sides parallel to the top edges of the lateral walls 9 of the inner package 3.
  • the sealing stamp 19 has an overall size (i.e. an area) smaller than the size (area) of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3.
  • the sealing stamp 19 is glued to the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 by means of glue 20; preferably, the glue 20 is applied to a lower face of the sealing stamp 19 before applying the sealing stamp 19 to the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 (i.e. the sealing stamp 19 is rubber-coated before applying the sealing stamp 19 to the top wall 5 of the inner package 3).
  • the glue 20 is interposed between the sealing stamp 19 and the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 so as to be arranged both at the front fold flap 11 of the top wall 5, and at the rear fold flap 12 of the top wall 5.
  • the sealing stamp 19 is glued by means of the glue 20 to both the fold flaps 11 and 12 of the top wall 5.
  • glue 21 is interposed, i.e. an inner face of the outer package 2 is glued to an outer face of the inner package 3 by means of glue 21.
  • the glue 21 is interposed between the front wall 7 of the inner package 3 and the front wall 15 of the outer package 2 and the glue 21 is interposed between the rear wall 8 of the inner package 3 and the rear wall 16 of the outer package 2.
  • the glue 21 is located in the vicinity of the open top end 13 of the outer package 2, i.e. in the vicinity of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 (that is at a top edge of the outer package 2) .
  • the function of the glue 21 is to make the inner package 3 integral with the outer package 2 so as to avoid that in use the inner package 3 can slide axially with respect to the outer package 2 (i.e., so as to avoid that in use the inner package 3 might axially slide away from the outer package 2).
  • the outer package 2 is provided with further glue 22 that has the function of stabilizing the shape of the outer package 2; in other words, the glue 22 keeps in contact with each other superimposed portions of the sheet 18 of packing material at the bottom wall 14 of the outer package 2 and at a lateral wall 17 of the outer package 2 to stabilize the shape of the outer package 2.
  • the inner package 3 is provided with glue 23 having the function of stabilizing the shape of the inner package 3 at the top wall 5; in other words, the glue 23 only stabilizes the folds of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3.
  • the glue 23 is located between the two fold flaps 11 and 12 of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3, to stabilize the shape of the inner package 3 at the top wall 5.
  • the function of the glue 23 is to stabilize the shape of the inner package 3 at the top wall 5 so as to simplify applying the sealing stamp 19: thanks to the glue 23, the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 is (sufficiently) stable and then the sealing stamp 19 can be applied without having to simultaneously hold the top wall 5 itself.
  • the shape of the inner package 3 at the top wall 5 is stabilized both by the glue 23, and by the sealing stamp 19 which is glued to the top wall 5 by means of the glue 20; accordingly, it is sufficient that the glue 23 provides a limited stabilization of the top wall 5 of the inner package 3 until the application of the sealing stamp 19, and therefore the glue 23 is generally little and affects a limited portion of the top wall 5.
  • the packet 1 of cigarettes comprising an overwrapping of transparent plastic material (cellophane) which is wrapped around the outer package 2, is stabilized by heat sealing, and has a tear-off strip.
  • the sealing stamp 19 is located inside the overwrapping of transparent plastic material and has no connection to the overwrapping of transparent plastic material (i.e. is not in any way glued or otherwise connected to the overwrapping of transparent plastic material).
  • the packet 1 of cigarettes described above has numerous advantages.
  • the sealing stamp 19 has a reduced size resulting in a significant reduction of the packing material used to produce the sealing stamp 19; indicatively, the sealing stamp 19 of the packet 1 of cigarettes described above is of a size that is roughly half the size of a similar sealing stamp of a packet of cigarettes currently on the market.
  • the packet 1 of cigarettes described above is also easy to manufacture as it can be produced in a substantially standard cigarette packing machine; i.e. changes to be made to a cigarette packing machine to produce the standard packet 1 of cigarettes described above are contained and substantially trivial.
  • a standard cigarette packing machine for producing the packet 1 of cigarettes described above it is sufficient to: change the size and orientation in feeding the sealing stamp, add a gumming device for applying glue 23 to the sheets 10 of packing material, and change the gumming device gumming the sheets 18 of packing material to apply in addition to the glue 22 also the glue 21.
